Minneapolis, MN (7/25/2016)
- For the first time, Polaris is introducing
a vehicle enabled with RIDE COMMAND. Polaris
RIDE COMMAND was created based on the recognition
that while off-road riding is often intended
to be a social experience, in reality it is
often disconnected, due to the inability to
communicate with passengers and other vehicles,
losing members in the group during a ride, and
trying to integrate different gadgets such as
cell phones and GoPro® cameras.
Polaris RIDE COMMAND is a unique solution that
solves the most common experiential problems
with off-road riding by connecting the disconnect.
With the RIDE COMMAND™ app and an intuitive,
weather-resistant RIDE COMMAND™ 7”
(17.8-cm.) Display, the system connects people
to their machines and people-to-people for a
more social off-road experience. Users are able
to map rides in advance and transfer waypoints
from their phones to the display via Bluetooth®,
plan and share their ride stats, and track their
friends’ locations while riding.
In addition, drivers can integrate devices
such as mobile phones to receive messages and
play music, control their go GoPro, and sync
Sena headsets to talk to passengers all through
the RIDE COMMAND™ 7” (17.8-cm.)
Display. RIDE COMMAND is available on the RZR
XP 1000 EPS Velocity Blue Limited Edition and
as an accessory through Polaris Engineered Accessories™.
